I had a similar problem and set up.  We solved the problem by setting the connection speed to 802.11b on my laptop.  I don't have Admin priveliges, so had to have the IT person do it for me.

Very slight (but virtually unnoticable) slow down.  My router is capable of "n" speeds and my wife's laptop, my tablet and phone (non-VPN) have no problem with the router.

Can't explain why, but it works.

Subject: VPN

I taught Cisco CCNA classes, but I don't completely understand some issues
with VPN. My daughter has an employer issued laptop to do work from remote
locations. She uses VPN to gain access to the employer secure network.



Here is the problem. When she uses VPN from a hotel, for example, she has
not apparent problems. At home, however, she connects through VPN ok, BUT
her laptop keeps indicating that she has NO Internet connection - the
Internet access does work; it is only the status indicator that seems in
error. She is running Windows 7, and the home router is a D-Link DIR-655
with latest firmware. Did I overlook some settings in the router? I was
hoping someone on the list might have worked out a similar situation. A
Google search did not result in any helpful suggestions that I have not
already tried.



Not a critical issue but still would like to know what is going on. Thank
you for any help
